Making the Abstract Submission

Authors should submit the following through the online form

  1. Abstract of Paper
  2. Cover Letter
  3. Resume
  • When submitting, the abstract needs to be of maximum 500 words detailing the specific knowledge gap the work aims to fill and/or the research question explored; methods or approach used; key findings, conclusions or observations (where possible findings should be given in context or, if applicable, quantified); implications or applications of the work. The abstract should be submitted with the working title of your paper as a header under the relevant theme from the drop-down menu in the submission system when prompted.
  • Cover letters of not more than 500 words should detail the experience of the Author/Authors in the chosen thematic area, previously published papers, and their interest in the respective theme. This means a few paragraphs or outline of the topic you want to cover, with details of any key case studies, examples, interviews, or ideas that you would include- we’re looking to understand what you want to say, and how you are planning to structure the article or flesh out the topic.
  • We will accept previously unpublished texts only.
  • As part of the submission process, you will be required to warrant that you are submitting your original work, that you have the rights to the work, that you are submitting the work for first publication in the Book and that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere and has not already been published elsewhere, and that you have obtained and can supply all necessary permissions for the reproduction of any copyright works not owned by you.
  • After your abstract is submitted via our online submission system ( https://zfrmz.in/eS5iKumuHNtmnVs98JXT), it enters our selection process. We aim to get the first decision to you by 7 December 2022, although this cannot be guaranteed.
